1. Spending time with happy positive people/having good relationships (This does not mean depending on others for your happiness)
2. Exercise and eating healthy
3. Having goals you are working towards that are challenging but attainable
4. Living in a home that is clean and somewhat clutter free
5. Getting enough sleep
6. Having new experiences
7, Doing something that you love daily (for some people its their work)
Everyones version of a wildly successful life is going to be different. For me, it means being happy, feeling fulfilled and growing, not being stagnant. Now, being happy, I think, should be on the top of everyone’s list of a Wildly successful lifestyle, because if you aren’t happy it doesn’t matter how much money you have, how fit you are or what purse you carry. If you’re not happy, nothing else really matters.
Each of us has a baseline of happiness. There are some that are naturally happier people, but studies have shown that about 40% of our happiness is in our control. That’s a lot if you really think about it.
Being happy is sometimes really easy but sometimes it is going to take work. That is with anyone. To make the times when it takes work easier we need to give ourself every single advantage there is out there.
But, just like you, there are certain things I want to have in my life in order to be happy. NOW. This is where it can get tricky. Because sometimes we make the requirements so strict that its hard to meet them! Sometimes too we have requirements that include other people and we do not control anyone other than ourself. We don’t want to have our happiness hinge on expectations of other people is a recipe for failure. Having goals that are unrealistic also set you up for failure
